Chapter 55: A Village in the Mountains 4
The old and weak voice slowly drifted by like a wisp of residual wind, Ning Xiaoxian looked at the hunchbacked old man, that strange and old face, but there was a bit of strange familiarity, and the strange feeling in his heart slowly overflowed. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The hunchbacked old man stopped when he walked to the side of the man wearing the headband, and the man in the headband immediately showed a respectful expression and bowed slightly.
"Can you come in and have a cup of tea?" The hunchbacked old man slowly let out the old and weak voice again.
However, as soon as the words fell, before Ning Xiaoxian and the others could show anything, the man wearing the headband immediately refused: "Uncle An, no!"
Ning Xiaoxian felt a little weird a few times, but no one spoke.
"Lin Lang." The hunchbacked old man looked at the man with the headband and shouted, and then said in an unhurried old and weak voice: "Let them enter the village."
"No way!" Lin Lang suddenly took a step forward, facing the hunchbacked old man, with his back to Ning Xiaoxian and the others.
The hunchbacked old man did not show anger, but slowly raised his head and looked at Lin Lang, in his cloudy eyes, a faint coercion was released invisibly, Lin Lang moved his lips, and stopped talking, but in the end he didn't say anything, and stood aside.
Lin Lang stepped out of the way, and the hunchbacked old man's eyes immediately returned to their completely lifeless cloudiness, and he suddenly took a slow step forward, moving closer to Yifan.
"In this big mountain, jackals, tigers and leopards will always appear at night, even if you find a place outside where you can set up a tent, it is not safe, it is better to spend the night in our small village." The hunchbacked old man squinted his eyes and whispered.
Yifan was silent for a while, and did not take Huang Liang and Ning Xiaoxian's opinions, and nodded lightly.
For Yifan's nod, the hunchbacked old man seemed to be very satisfied, and a faint smile appeared on his old face.
"Lin Lang, you go and arrange a few rooms for people to clean up."
Although Lin Lang was very reluctant, he didn't seem to dare to disobey the hunchbacked old man's orders, turned around and took a few shirtless men, and walked towards the village with torches. There were five or six shirtless men who followed behind the hunchbacked old man to illuminate him, which was enough to show that the hunchbacked old man had a certain status in this village.
Not long after Lin Lang left, the hunchbacked old man took Ning Xiaoxian, Huang Liang and Yifan into the village, under the light of the light of the moon and the bright light of the torches, you can vaguely see that the shape of these houses is actually like an ancient folk house, and there is a certain age, but the strange thing is that all the way through, except for the barking of dogs from time to time, no other sounds have been heard, and the doors of these houses are tightly closed, there is no light inside, and there are no people hanging out or setting up stalls on the street. It's like a no-man's village.
After walking through the street three or four meters wide in the middle, about ten meters, a house with a dim light finally appeared.
The house is not very big, five or six meters high, there are two large lanterns hanging on the door, emitting a red light, the door is open, standing at the door, you can see that there are several tables and chairs in the house, it seems to be a restaurant or something.
"A few of you must not have eaten yet, eat first, and then take you to rest later."
